anemonii's melodiez

thank you for checking out my submission for OST Comp Jam #7!

OST summary:

for my OST, i used "inside my world" (more towards an imaginative adventure OST) and the water aspect of the photo for the video game's foundation of a deep sea adventure with anemonii, the main character, and her friends. i'd like to imagine it as a playful imaginative story of one's adventure underwater, going from sea cities to underwater caves and defeating whatever stands in front of them. the game showcases how powerful one's imagination can be as anenomii and her friends go on to save kelp city from the evil tiger sharks.

feel free to use my tracks anywhere u want :)

LONG description on the tracks (i'll bold the TLDR of each):

anenomii's melody (menu) :

the main idea i had when first looking at the picture and the description "inside my world" led me to some underwater imagination adventure type of thing. if you played omori (spoilers a lil not really) it reminded me of the underwater section, deep well i think it was called, where it was a cool tropical adventure with all of omori's friends (apart from literally everything else that happened in the real world lol) 

so i wanted to make a nice track for the i guess "main menu" of the soundtrack. i wanted to make something nice and inviting for the soundtrack, and pleasant with a lot of smooth rhodes chords, some strings in the back, and that panflute? lead. pretty cool. musically its not too crazy, just a nice calm track that drags you in. like the lazy river at a waterpark. its always there when you wanna chill. 

also some playful drums cuz the whole imagination theme and stuff just screams for its use. yk the deal. cuícas and all that.

super proud of this track cuz im not the greatest at mixing but this one actually went well. awesome possum. moving on!

we're all together again! (day):

so once i finished anenome's melodies i wanted some day music. something that would play in the background as you're walking around the underwater city of your imagination...hmm...i hadn't used a guitar yet so i threw some once again nice rhodes chords and that together, with some background layering. and an electric guitar solo because why not. the rhodes chords were pissing me off cause they were nice but sometimes during some melodies they would clash so i had to remove some top notes, but other than that, pretty good, pretty swell.

moonlight minnowz (night) :

so now we already have some day music to start the adventure off going from place to place, doing quests and all. why not some night music to accompany it? it's 8pm, all the cities lights are shining, and its just the gang and the underwater world together as they stumble along their adventure. that's all i really have to say. really nice and comfy track. especially the bass. a good bass always makes the track warm.

everglow valley (deep ocean):

i wanted to make a serene track reflecting on the calmness and beauty some places underwater can be. for example, the jellyshroom cave in subnautica has mushrooms that emit a nice purple glow, and apart from how scary that game is, it goes to show that a track should be dedicated to those beautiful types of places deep in the ocean, at least in this game. 

swim and kick! (battle) :

i hastily made this track a couple hours ago just to accompany tiger shark tussle. i lstened to all the tracks in order and decided that a mean track like tiger shark tussle shouldn't play all the time (i originally had it listed as "battle"), so i made this track to accompany the player whenever a smaller foe such as a crab tries to block the gang from saving kelp city

tiger shark tussle (boss) :

we already have a chill battle music for idk lesser threatening enemies. like a crab or something. BUT u can't have an underwater game without a final boss against a sharka or something to complete the imaginary adventure. so for the battle music, some cool strings, some actual drums, all that good stuff. i really like this track because i wanted some type of intense music in there with the words "inside my world" because anything could happen in your imagination, really. i'd like to imagine this track playing while fighting a tiger shark to save 'kelp city' or something like that. just spitballin.

its okay to try again (game over) :

now i didn't really know the original place for this track after making it. i was happy with the product bur it sounded too sad to be a second track to the deep ocean. so i wanted it to reflect something sad, and boom. game over track. sad but encouraging track to let the user know that there's nothing wrong with falling down.

thank you again! <3
